OUTLINE OF THIS UNIT
Virtual 3D
Surround sound typically requires several speakers
situated in front of and behind the listening position, which
requires a substantial amount of space that may not always
be available. This unit uses Yamaha’s unique “Virtual 3D
(three-dimensional)” technology to simulate a typical
surround sound system using only two speakers. Virtual
FL C FR
RL RR
Typical surround system Virtual 3D
3D, which is used by this unit’s sound field programs,
simulates the surround effect provided by rear and center
speakers, creating “virtual” surround speakers, as shown,
so even with only two front speakers, you can still enjoy
surround sound.
Digital Sound Field Processing (DSP)
When you listen to a performance in a concert hall, jazz
club, or other live music venue, you not only hear the direct
sound coming from the musical instruments and singers,
but also the “early reflections” and natur al reverberation.
Early reflections are the initial sound waves that bounce off
the floor, ceiling, and walls. Natural reverberation is made
up of sound waves that gradually attenuate as they bounce
repeatedly off multiple surfaces.
Since the way you hear early reflections and reverberation
depends on the shape and size of the building as well as
the material and construction of the walls and ceiling, each
venue has its own unique “sound,” called its “sound field.”
At Yamaha, we have measured all the elements that make
up a typical sound field—direction and level of the
reflections, band-width characteristics, and delay times—at
famous concert halls and opera houses around the world.
The information gained in this process has been converted
into programs that can be reproduced using Yamaha’s DSP
technology. Using its on-board DSP, this unit can process
any audio source and recreate the atmosphere of the
original venue.

appareil, simule les effets surround produits par les
enceintes arrières et centrale, en créant des enceintes
surround “virtuelles” comme illustré et il est donc possible
de profiter du son surround avec seulement deux
enceintes avant.

Traitement numérique de champ sonore (DSP)
Lorsque vous écoutez de la musique dans une salle de
concert, un club de jazz ou toute autre représentation live,
vous n’entendez pas seulement le son direct venant des
instruments et des chanteurs mais aussi les “réflexions
premières” et la réverbération naturelle. Les réflexions
premières sont les ondes de son initiales qui rebondissent
sur le plancher, le plafond et les murs. La réverbération
naturelle est constituée d’ondes sonores qui s’atténuent
progressivement après avoir rebondi successivement sur
plusieurs surfaces.
Puisque la façon dont vous entendez les réflexions
premières et la réverbération dépend de la forme et de
l’importance de l’édifice ainsi que des matériaux de
construction des murs et du plafond, chaque événement a
un “son” unique appelé “champ sonore”. Chez Yamaha,
nous avons mesuré tous les éléments que constitue un
champ sonore typique —Sens et niveau de réflexions,
caractéristiques de largeur de bande, délais, — de salles
de concert et de théâtre réputées partout dans le monde.
Les informations acquises au cours de ce processus ont
été converties en programmes pouvant être reproduits en
utilisant la technologie DSP de Yamaha. A l’aide de sa
carte DSP intégrée, cet appareil peut traiter n’importe
quelle source audio et recréer l’atmosphère de
l’événement original.

3 Touche DSP [panneau avant]
Touche ON/OFF [télécommande]
Cette touche active les programmes de champ sonore
produit par le DSP interne.
4 Touche MUTE
Cette touche est utilisée pour couper temporairement
la sortie son. Le niveau de la sortie son se rétablit en
tournant la commande de volume sur la façade ou
en appuyant sur les touches VOLUME sur
la télécommande. Le son se rétablit aussi en appuyant
une nouvelle fois sur la touche MUTE.
